Hourly and part-time employees are fearful that their hours will be cut by employers trying to keep their health care costs down. Full time, under the PPACA or "Obama Care" as it is known, is 30 hours of work a week or more. Employers that employ 50 or more "full time equivalent" employees must offer minimal coverage to their full time employees. So many employers are being forced to decide what to do with their part-time or variable hour workers. To keep costs down, many employers are making sure their employees do not work more than 27 hours a week, thus staying under the 30 hour rule. It is an unintended consequence of the law, but now part-time employees may see their take home pay cut as a result. If you would like to read more about the problem, The Los Angeles Times had a great article by Chad Terhune on this subject. To read the full article click on the link.
